“He always surprises us!”  Those were the words we used when we arrived for the
first time to the city of Lund, Sweden on Thursday October 12th 2006.
Suddenly, through the Spirit we could see that the Lord had taken us to Sweden on exactly the same date when Christopher Columbus’ discovery of America is celebrated.  The difference is that Columbus’ conquest established a worldly and temporary
kingdom and ours established an eternal and heavenly kingdom: The Kingdom of God.
It is a real honor to be able to witness such a great and ever lasting conquest.

Everything we’ll describe clearly shows the effect of walking when guided by the same Spirit, same mind and same purpose. 
All the ministers and churches that belong to this team prayed and were actively involved in this task with love, dedication and readiness. 
As a result, even before arriving to Sweden, we received a huge amount of prophetic words showing in advance the great Kingdom of God being established in that European region.

Putting together an event like this meant a huge challenge of faith for the organizers Alfonso and Roxana Tapia and Jordi and Marysol Torres, as well as for the members of the Hispanic group that meet in Lund’s Pentecostal church, which today is numerically small.

The activities in Lund started with an event called “God’s specific word for you”. 
This took place from Friday 13th until Sunday 15th of October 2006.

The brave organizing team together with the leaders of the local church who attended the conferences, were greatly surprised to see that during the first three days the Filadelfia church chapel was full and according to their experience, that is very unusual. 
According to them, the results in terms of number of participants in previous events were unsatisfactory.

Different regions were represented during the conference: Scandinavian, African, North American and Hispanic.  There were also pastors and leaders from cities like Gothenburg 250 kms and Stockholm 650 kms north of Lund. 
A great percentage of people came from the city of Malmö and Eslöv both 25 kms away from Lund.

The conference was translated directly to English, one of the most spoken languages in that region of Europe.  Our brother Jordi Torres who did it excellently carried out this translation.  It was also translated to Swedish via headphones for those who didn’t manage with English or Spanish.

Once the three day conference was over, we carried out meetings aimed to the brothers and sisters led by Alfonso and Roxana Tapia on Thursday 19th, Friday 20th and Sunday 22nd.  But when we saw the interest of the people who attended the previous conference, it was necessary to open the invitation to everyone.

This time the meetings were carried out in the same church but in a room downstairs similar in size to the main chapel.  The two last days, the conference was translated directly to Swedish by our sister Licette Lofgreen, and to English by our brother Omar who helped those who only spoke in English.  Once more, the room was full with people who welcomed the word of the Lord.

In everything and in all areas, the presence of the Lord was present at all times.  The participants came thirsty of the Word, listening eagerly to everything the Lord wanted to tell them.  The Lord was glorified through the revelation of His word, people born again, healing, miracles and prophetic word given to many of those gathered in His name.

First, Daniel Cipolla delivered a word from the Lord to the Filadelfia Church head pastor –Christer Zethson-.  The word included healing of his body as well as direction for his ministry and work for the years to come.  A few days later the pastor Christer together with one of the elders of his church met with Daniel Cipolla and Alfonso Tapia. 
In that meeting we clearly established the importance of coming back to God’s original plan through a Theocratic government founded by Jesus Christ.  Also, the calling to become pioneers for Sweden and Europe preaching the divine truth, that will result in a clear establishment of the Kingdom of God.

Second, a non-scheduled but very special meeting with some pastors and leaders coming from Malmö and Stockholm on Saturday 21st.  The objective was to talk to Daniel and Marta regarding the theocratic government as well as the prophetic-apostolic ministry.
 
On top of all the previously mentioned meetings, we spent most of the time fulfilling a very specific objective of our ministry: To give direction and establish spiritual and practical guidelines to the Tapias, as well as to the members of the group led by them.

Before we end this report, we’d like to act according to what the Word established in Romans 13:7b where it says “…if honor, then honor…”

This ministry’s visit to Sweden came as a result of a spiritual task carried out by Jordi and Marysol Torres, who delivered a powerful seed of the Kingdom of God in the lives of the Tapia’s and the rest of the group during a short two year period in the city of Lund.  They could live what’s expressed in Ephesians 6 verse 10 “…be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power…” in the midst of a materially prosperous but spiritually dead society.  We witnessed how the words of the apostle Paul to Timothy were fulfilled in the lives of Jordi and Marysol when Paul expressed in 1st Timothy 4:12a “Don't let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example…”

The testimony of those inside and outside the church reflects that Jordi and Marysol have set an example of living a life governed by the Spirit of the Lord, knowing their purpose on earth.
